“In addition to refining our forward guidance, the Federal Reserve has a range of tools that could be used to provide additional monetary stimulus,” Bernanke said in a speech today to central bankers and economists gathered at an annual forum in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. He said a second day has been added to the next policy meeting in September to “allow a fuller discussion” of the economy and the Fed’s possible response.

What is the general consensus around here on QE3? I don't think the first two did anything...

and no discernable reaction from the markets....
I'm starting to think it may be time to think about increasing exposure to equities....
valuations look low and over the next 4-6 months I think they have to move up.

I know 10 year t-bond yields were lower as a result and that lowered mortgage rates since mortgage rates are loosely tied to the 10 year bond rate.
Did the lower mortgage rates do any good for the economy? Probably but difficult to prove. They sure didn't increase unemployment.

I, for one, can't figure out the insanity of this stock market.

Up 152 now. Maybe folks are seeing the Fed's reluctance as a positive? (or at least not adding a negtive)

The markets are taking news of Jordan Jefferson's imminent arrest pretty well

I'm hoping we are starting to put in a bottom...
